Thugnificent:
I could but why only Enugu tho

Transportation can be easily taken care of with no issues.
the yams will not be harvest at once. 20 - 30 every month. From December to April. Transport matters and I have to come check things myself.

Also I thought the Abakaliki yam is the first to come out. Very big and usually July and August. And before December they will all disappeared from the market. And now you want to farm Abakaliki yam?
Re: My Farming Journey (pictures) by Love800(m): 9:51am On Jun 08
Okay.
I want to quickly ask, what is coco-yam used for?
Thugnificent:
Water yam is softer and lighter than white yam and has lesser starch. Also, white yam is more in demand and sweeter and more preferable for poundo and also more expensive. Apart from this, no much noticeable difference.
Re: My Farming Journey (pictures) by Love800(m): 9:53am On Jun 08
Alright.
Thugnificent:
I mean people that can invest in the business and we share the profits or a soft loan with reasonable time frame for repayment etc
Re: My Farming Journey (pictures) by Love800(m): 9:54am On Jun 08
Okay.
Thanks so much.
Thugnificent:
Yes exactly. No problem with that or what do you think the mould is for and the expended energy used in making them?
Re: My Farming Journey (pictures) by Love800(m): 10:13am On Jun 08
Thanks so much.

When can one start planting yams?
Naijaepic:
Yes,
See my comment above.

It depends on the quantity. I bought mine for 15k.
Re: My Farming Journey (pictures) by Love800(m): 11:06am On Jun 08
But people dont usually eat it cooked wholly.
They only pound it and afterwards they use it in cooking soups.

It is fenced o. The location is Atan Otta, Ogun state. The funny thing is that I was discussing with someone about a man whose Cassava was harvested around 4:30 am one day, not knowing that they were already planning to rob me too before the next day's break. I saw the person's footprint because it rained the previous day.


Thugnificent:
Really? Is your compound not fenced and where is that
